E90 M3 Muffler on a 550i....can it work?

I have an e90 M3 Dinan exhaust sitting around in my garage. I'm looking to put an exhaust on my F10 550i. I'm mainly looking to get a little growl out of the car. Performance on the car for me is perfect for the time being.
Would the there be a way to get some custom pipes made and use the muffler portion of the E90 M3 exhaust with the 550?

Look under the car and look at the stock muffler location. Does it look like it will fit? If yes, yes.

It looks good. I did a quick measure and it does seem good. I'm just worried the piping out of the muffler rear might bend to much and it's side effect.

Let's see how it turns out. Should have some custom pipes made and put in tomorrow.

It should fit with minor mods.
I had made a muffler setup on my E90 M3 and reused it on my 550.
Just needed modified mounts.

the passager side is a bit tight.
And you may need to re-clock the mufflers.

Edman, what do you mean by re-clocking the muffler?

Meaning the angle of the piping versus the muffler where the S is to go from the center pipe to the mufflers.
If i remember correctly, the M3 had a different drop angle then the 550.
